Newfoundland: Shahzada Dawood, a multimillionaire, tragically died in the Titan submersible incident along with his son Suleman. The shocking part? He left his wife Christine with just £77,000 because he didn’t have a will in place.
Shahzada and Suleman were among five people who lost their lives when the submersible imploded while heading to the Titanic wreck. It’s heartbreaking to think about what Christine is going through right now.
At just 48, Shahzada was part of the wealthy Dawood family, with a net worth around £285 million. His family business in Karachi is a big player, raking in £1.3 billion annually. But without a valid UK will, Christine only gets the Surrey home they shared, valued at just under £77,000.
Most of Shahzada’s wealth seems to be tied up in Pakistan, which complicates things for Christine. She was supposed to join him on that fateful trip but let Suleman go instead since he was so fascinated by the Titanic.
It’s gut-wrenching to hear how Christine and her daughter Alina reacted when they learned there were no survivors. They were left to pick up the pieces of their lives after such a devastating loss.
Suleman, who was studying in Scotland, had expressed fear about the trip but wanted to make his dad proud. It’s just so tragic that this adventure turned into a nightmare.
The wreckage was found not far from the Titanic, and officials said the sub’s occupants likely died instantly. It’s a stark reminder of how quickly life can change.
